Champion trimaran Timberwolf back racing on the Waitemata Harbour, after 'weekend warrior' Liz Alonzi spent hundreds of hours lovingly restoring her. Together they'll hunt down the leaders in the iconic Coastal Classic yacht race from Auckland to Russell on Friday. Even with all the weed on her bottom, she was the coolest boat,” Alonzi says. She’s on the committee of the NZ Multihull Yacht Club, who organise the Coastal Classic, now in its 38th year. When a winch ripped off the deck the first time she took Timberwolf sailing, she had the entire winch set-up replaced.
